It's always changing. Early Challenge Tilting. You have to be actively aware of tilting in order to combat it and not let it affect your game-play. Level Up Moment Borrowed an Affinity deck and won a win-a-Goyf event. What Autumn learned was when to play around cards and when not play around them. It's a fine line but sometimes you need to commit and force your opponent to have the answer and sometimes you need to play around the answer.  Autumn played very well at this event and really feel she leveled up her understanding of playing around cards. Worst Moment Pro Tour Atlanta. Autumn neglected basic self-care and it manifested in her results. She learned that sleep, food, hydration and adequate breaks between rounds are crucial to keeping your mind sharp for a long day of Magic. Proudest Magic Moment Pro Tour Battle For Zendikar.
